Certainly the thousands upon thousands of people who called local politicians or signed petitions, and the nationwide outpouring of support from the national arts/heritage community, render that argument somewhat moot. This thing made national news and inspired entreaties from coast to coast. Council heard that, and unanimously to take it off the surplus list and study the issue further.
So if that many people care, and it even seemed to bridge (for now) the urban/suburb/rural divide, it's hard to argue that it's not important.
(Aesthetics is a different matter, but I'm betting that if you stopped random people on the street and asked what they thought of it, at least nine out of ten would definitely not label it "ugly.")
